I'd like to personally thank everyone for their contributions to this thread, but there is no longer a reason to keep this up seeing as totse is going to be taken down this evening. The thread reached it's target audience and with over 6,000 views it seems that it did it's intended job. If I helped just one person with this thread, it was worth it.

The main reason I edit this post is because I don't want my hard work being posted by someone else as their own. I have copied several of the large posts in this thread, including the original post and the post with all the links, and saved them as a text file.

It's been a great ride my fellow totse brethren, but as Jeff said, all good things must come to an end. I hope I may one day cross paths with some of you, and could care less if I don't see some of you again ;)

Trip safe, happy trails, and peace and love.

Common LSD phenomenons

Some of you know the feeling of perception that you and your trip partner are communicating in a non-verbal method, i.e. mental communication. It's a phenomenon that many have experienced, but none that can understand.

Here are some links concerning LSD and parapsychological occurrences.

We hardly know anything about the human mind, and I think many people underestimate it's ability. We truly don't know the extent of what our minds can do.

Outside of being in circles of drug using friends, would you say going to music festivals or raves or stuff like that to be the best way to get some?

Fuck yeah. You'll find very good acid at very good prices at festivals. Just keep your eyes open and you'll find it. Buy from hippies and deadheads :)

i think a sticky directing the weary to erowid would work better(possible money for totse). or least start stickying these threads cuase whats the point when u gotta dig through pages to find it.

and shit i forget.

wish i could get me a sheet of that albert hofmann signed blotter art.

cool idea dude, you're off to a good start. you have my blessing to continue, and please do..


for relevencey, remember "set and setting"...



[i'm gonna take the wait and see approach, but you could very well find yourself in the useful links sticky up in the big collect all. if we stickied every useful thread the first page would be stickies...]

yeah, festivals or multi-day concerts, the best I ever got was 2 hits that gave me the absolute best acid trip at a concert.

Remember: If the old wise wizard commands you to eat the baby, you EAT IT, no questions asked.

Orange juice. Mother fucking orange juice.

Darkus!

Top drawer dude. Now I know why all I heard you talk about earlier on IRC is "Blah blah blah my thread blah blah blah" :p
Excellent work.

One thing I'd like to add at the moment has to do with the setting.

I've never understood why some people drop and just stare at glowsticks. I understand that people like different things but people are doing themselves a disservice by confining themselves to some basement while they trip. The beauty of the natural world is far greater than anything that you'll get sitting in some room. If I trip and I don't get a chance to gaze up at the stars for an extended period of time I feel as if I've cheated myself out of something amazing and I wake up feeling unfulfilled.

To all those still pondering where to have their first (or just their next) trip, you can't go wrong with a place underneath a sprawling night sky. Few things spur deep extrospective (and introspective) thought like time spent staring out into the cosmos and every psychonaut should experience this humbling, glowing, amazing moment at least once...though I recommend experiencing and re-experiencing it every time you drop. When I down a checklist of things I need for my trip, the stars are usually at the top of the list and I highly recommend others do the same.

Once again, fantastic work dude. BLTC really needed a thread like this. A fucking plus!

Q: How much should I take?
A: Well, my personal preference is to take 3. 3 is a good number for any size dose, really. But, I like really strong trips. If the blotters are kind of weak, though, 3 should still give you a decent one. NEVER only take one.

I'd recommend 1, or maybe 2 to at least guage the potency. I get really strong blotters and I personally don't like to go past 2 most of the time. I have a lot of experiance with psychedelics as well.

I mean, even if you take a large dose... it wont matter if you planned out your set and setting. But its better to be safe then sorry, especially when dealing with such a powerful chemical.

Might be interesting. I probably wouldn't recommend it for a virgin experience, but you'd probably be alright. Might wanna have a friend following in the car. If things get too heavy, you can hop in and go home. Or to the woods. Or nowhere in particular- car rides are fun as shit on acid.

Is LSD acid 2ci and 2ce all the same thing?

I'll edit the original post :p

I'd recommend 1, or maybe 2 to at least guage the potency. I get really strong blotters and I personally don't like to go past 2 most of the time. I have a lot of experiance with psychedelics as well.

Assuming the doses are good, yeah. I've always been a fan of large dose trips, though.

Is LSD acid 2ci and 2ce all the same thing?

Not even close.

you can, but it will cost you alot...

only 60 of these exist...

erowid has 1 left, make a 5000 dollar contribution and it can be yours...

http://www.erowid.org/donations/incentives_special5.php

I had some blotters that tasted very bitter, but they were LSD for sure. I think some inks on blotter paper can have a taste? I didn't test them, but the duration was right and people that have dosed the same batch said it was acid.

Great thread also Darkus, about time someone did one.

If it tasted metallic....it was likely not LSD.

LSD blotters should not have a distinguishable taste. However, liquid LSD does taste somewhat "metallic".

~darkus

Great post except for 2 "flaws" I found. The first is the part I quoted. I dont think that everyone that takes LSD should take 3 hits, or any other set amount for that matter. They should take an amount that they feel is right for them and that they are comfortable with, if they feel that it is right to take 1/2 hit they should, as if they feel it is right to take 10 that is what they should do. Granted they should know that these two extrmemes will produce very different and possibly "extreme" effects, either a very mild trip or possibly an unbearing trip, there is definitely no set amount a person should take there first time. But when I doubt I would say dose low.

Another part is the very end of your post where you post your opinion abot LSD and what it is, and what it does I just think should have pointed out that this is not how every persons experience will go, and some people may not enjoy LSD to this extent (although I dont know anyone that doesnt enjoy the experience :D)

this is stupid. why don't we just let everyone make an official thread about every drug commonly discussed

I was given the OK by theta. vilbe also approved.

Also, only the first several parts are from erowid, the basic information and such. Everything else was written by me, from my personal standpoint. The stuff taken from erowid was sourced, and was added to the post to answer many of the questions that are commonly asked here about acid.

Instead of linking erowid every time a poster asks a question, I figured they can visit this thread and most of the questions should be answered. I put it all in the same post for accessibility and convenience. Instead of having to follow around a lot of links, I think a good deal of information is covered in the original post.

I should point out in the original post that these are only my preferences, but everyone I know enjoys those the best.

i mean, you just copied this straight from erowid. someone seeking real answers could have just gone there to begin with.

See above. I wrote everything after the Contraindications. And like I said, I sourced everything that I used.

If you don't like it don't look at it...

i mean, you just copied this straight from erowid. someone seeking real answers could have just gone there to begin with.

What? The initial overview? Of fucking course he did. If you're trying to give a basic understanding you'd be stupid not to. Would you sit there and be like "Um..what can I say about acid..it's awesome!" Erowid (and a few other sites) have that part covered.

The majority of this post is all things he's learned through experience and that's what he is expecting from the replies. This was a well thought out and desperately needed post in the sea of "hey do i get oc from a pulled tooth??" You obviously just skimmed over it or you wouldn't be remarking on the first 1/3rd of it. Not every fucking poster is an erowid jockey. Some have actual experience.

Your faggotry has sullied this thread.

-------------

As far as the dosing goes, I agree with darkus. I think if you are going to take acid you should be ready to handle it. Why go into this in any way but the best you can get? I think the rule of 3 makes perfect sense. Of course, you should be intelligent and make changes as the situation deems fit but as a basic rule I think he's correct.

I am cooked!

You had to be drunk as no mod here would make - or permit - an Official thread without asking the other mods here.

I will leave it open but will change the title.

Theta changed the title, not me. Vilbe also approved. Check with your mods more.

Tips for the Onset

When the curtains begin to wiggle and the shadows start to dance, here are a few things to set your trip off in a great way.

In the event you can go outdoors:

Go outside, roll down the windows on your car and play some tunes or turn on the radio. Lay on the hood of your car and just look up at the stars. You should be able to see a great tale tale sign, the Purple Haze. Stare out into the cosmos and let your mind wander.

Also, take notice of the world around you. Feel the sense of freedom you get from being outdoors and not confined to a house or room. Breathe deep and enjoy the night air. Notice how 'organic' the trees seem. The natural world will jump out at you in a way you never noticed before you dropped. The life around you is electric and amazing.

In the event you are stuck indoors:

First, open up the windows if possible. Put a fan in and start some cross circulation is you have more than one. Turn on some music and turn off any monitors or televisions. If you want, put a screensaver of visualization (Preferably a darker themed one) on the PC. If you choose to do this take notice of the rhythm kept with the music. This should have you pretty interested for a bit.

Get yourself to a comfortable place and find a nice comfortable position. Lay back on a soft pillow and close your eyes. Let your mind wander to whatever it wishes.

----------------

After this, the night should kind of pan out on it's own. It's really hard to be bored on acid. I just thought I'd help ease some of the new users out from under the veil :)

This thread is a reflection of the underlying psychic and symbolically surreal bonds underlying all human communication- conscious, paranormal or otherwise.

The undignified ramblings of those who have an odd suspicion that they are being referred to are well placed and thoughtful, if not inconsiderate.


Behold the face of god:

As of now, 2 seconds after clicking "post", I have decided to edit my message with the following announcement:

Casual supportive bump, fuckers :)

I was given the OK by theta. vilbe also approved.

See above. I wrote everything after the Contraindications. And like I said, I sourced everything that I used.

You should post a spreadsheet of gathered LSD facts and specific information, that way this thread's not completely useless. You know, bring a large number of compiled sources together on a table. Offer something unique besides personal experience, erowid's got that to. Otherwise I don't see the point in locking individual lsd threads. You know when this thing hits 400+ posts, no one will get heard.

Would you sit there and be like "Um..what can I say about acid..it's awesome!"

The majority of this post is all things he's learned through experience and that's what he is expecting from the replies.

haha fuck it's raining and I can hear native american flute down the street can't wait for my parents to go to bed THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here we go..

your title is really lame.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw8JOQAJrjE

This is fucking funny.

Go outside, man. The computer is a horrible place to be when you're tripping.

unless your staring at the Whitney music box...

http://www.coverpop.com/whitney/index.php?var=v10

a computer is really only good for music and trippy things while on acid, the music box provides both....

its interesting to lay down on a bed in a very dark and quit room and just see where your mind goes... its less quiet and your seeing more things than you should be.... in the absence of almost any sound i tend to hear water trickling... with all sorts of closed eye visuals.... and im pretty sure that wasn't just the lsd, it makes me see a shit ton more stars but they have never just streaked across the sky....

on that note, are the starry sky's on acid a simple hallucination or are the result of your eye allowing more light in from the dilation of the pupils... i would imagine a bit of both...

the other night i saw the first shooting star of my life while tripping on acid and staring at the sky....

really, is this necessary? i think its a great idea. what separates it from the "OmG iMseeEing shiIt" threads is that its well planned out, with a clear purpose, and a wide fucking audience. i mean, cmon now, who wouldnt like to talk about acid? ;)

the other night i saw the first shooting star of my life while tripping on acid and staring at the sky....

Try planning a trip out for a meteor shower next time there is once. It's pretty amazing. :)

I thought this thread was just a summary of all the usual acid threads until I saw these. And who would have thought William James would have been a drug user. So are most people that decide to major in psychology I'm betting.

I was adding good reads without the intention of bumping.

I think you're just butthurt ;)

Every link I posted has to do with LSD.

Acid was one of the thousands of chemicals they experimented with.

"Early efforts focused on LSD, which later came to dominate many of MK-ULTRA's programs."

It was LSD and it's effects that pretty much kick started MK-ULTRA. To say it has nothing to do with acid is retarded. LSD was a key factor in the experimentations. LSD was used, therefore it's relevant.

was one of the thousands

THOUSANDS, huh? I think it's a bit closer to a few dozen. If you can come up with any sources stating otherwise, you're more than welcome to share :)

Also, if you don't like the thread and still feel the need to harass me, you can gtfo out of the thread (no one is forcing you to click on it), and bitch me out in IRC. I'd prefer to keep the bullshit content to a minimum. *ahem*

Well, the initial goal was to answer most of the most commonly asked questions here, and I think I did a pretty good job at that. The rest of the thread is going to consist of LSD related things of interest :)

What I thought was incredibly fun while on acid was flicking a lighter on and off, and climbing stuff. :)

also staring at the stars while riding in a car... it was awesome (but everytime we hit a traffic light it took SOO LONG for it to change... also I wouldn't suggest driving on acid).

What I thought was incredibly fun while on acid was flicking a lighter on and off

Drawing things in the air with a lit cigarette is very cool, as is watching the smoke.

I counted my toes and fingers twice while tripping, because the first time i counted, i had six fingers on one hand, and only 8 toes. I was a little freaked out for a minute :P

If you play an instrument, do that.
Amazing experience. Especially with other people.

loads of fun. (http://www.trippyapps.com/)

Sorry I haven't contributed more.

Well I dunno about LSd, but that is fucking GREAT stoned .. you gotta try it .. :D


ETA:Been playing that for like 20 mins on one shot .. got 247934 :D :D

I lol'd. Hard.

You know those guys had a good time. I can't even imagine what that trip was like for all of 'em.

I bet most of them (if not all) quit the military afterward.

or requested to be part of more psychedelic drug testing....

"that was fun, got anything else you want us all to ingest?"

well except for the one guy who had to quit the experiment.... the others seemed to be having a good time....

About an hour to start feelin' the good stuff. Maybe a little longer since you ate them. If you're not peaking by 2 - 2.5 hours in somethings wrong.

I find it only takes me as little as 15 - 30 min

I find it only takes me as little as 15 - 30 min

I said peak.

I have a hit of acid that's about three years old. Still good?

I'll find out tomorrow.

Well I got triple stacked acid today. I saw my dealer measure out 500mg of ascorbic acid then drop it on a phone book. Well I paid $5,000 because a phone book is like 200 bibles right?

Yeah, good deal man.

There are a handful of case reports of people with color blindness finding that LSD
altered their perception of color for the duration of the effects. Colorblindess is
not seeing without color, but a reduced ability to differentiate between certain
colors. It is not known how LSD changes perception of color or why it would alter
color blindess.

there's lots of cool links here, acid is fun.

No offense man, but almost every question you've asked in this thread has been answered in the original post. That's why I made the thread -- to answer questions before they're asked. Please read it over before asking any more. I'd like to keep this thread as clutter free as possible.

Well, it's been almost two weeks since I dropped for the first time, and something disheartening has happened.

From 12:30pm to 1:00am last night I had a full on flashback, which I thought was kind of cool.

But since about 4:15pm (it's 8:30pm) I've been having another one.

The difference from when I tripped is simply that my pupils will un-dilate if I shine a light in them, and no audio hallucinations. There are no visual hallucinations, just distortions.


If I stare at the wall, it moves and distorts, almost subtly "breathing".

If I stare at my face in the mirror for more than five or ten seconds, my face starts to morph and distort.

My pupils are fully dilated, and only un-dilate when I shine a strong flashlight in them.

Basically like my trip minus hearing laughing elves and unnaturally moving trees.

Crap, how long can flashbacks last?

According to google searches, they usually only last moments/minutes.

So far, it's been over 4 hours...//

Shit.

that lsd you took must have been...awesome... beyond belief

Never took LSD before, just took 2 tabs yesterday morning.

Its was cold, gray, and raining out all day. I came back to my dorm room and my roommate was watching some show like cops but it was about evidence and finding serial rapists and shit like that (depressing stuff). I got really into it and ended up watching it for like 3 hours even after he left. I wasn't enjoying it and the LSD was really enhancing all those negative emotions. I went outside to smoke my hookah and there was some campus police driving around (hookahs are allowed). But all I could think about was how dilated my pupils were. If they came over and talked to me they would have known I was on drugs right away. I'm already a paranoid person and the acid was just enhancing that fear. So I packed up my hookah, went inside and locked myself in my room because it was the only place I felt safe. Of course being inside is the last thing you want when you're on LSD, I felt very claustrophobic being in the small room, so I turned on the television because it really does help with numbing your mind (just watch the beginning to OldBoy). I put on comedy central and watched some redneck stand up comedy. That calmed me down a lot, but whenever commercials came on I felt sick. There are talking cows that advertise milk, caveman on motorcycles selling car insurance, turkeys in washing machines, and all interactions between people are absurdly fake ("oh wow, your house smells wonderful. That air freshener is really great." People don't talk to each other like that). I went for a walk outside and the fresh air was nice but I felt very dissociated from my body and the world in general, I'd call it psychosis. I remember hating how that felt and I just wanted to feel normal, how I felt the day before. Came back, went to bed at about 3am, woke up today and I feel "out-of-it" but not nearly as fucked up as before.

TLDR: I was irreparably psycho-emotionally raped. LSD gives a whole new meaning to the term mindfuck. It was a great experience and I can't wait to do it again, especially now that I know how to guide the trip in the direction I want it.

I try to avoid a few things while tripping, people who would care, tv/most movies, and not being able to be outside....

next time, try to go outside with some sun glasses to avoid the paranoia about the pupils, go to a park or somewhere nice....

Acid is a thinking drug, so whatever you watch on TV or movies, you're going to think a lot about. If you watch criminal investigation stuff, you're going to be thinking about that kind of thing wayyy more than you should. And depressing movies like Oldboy are going to give you even worse thoughts. It's kind of a cliche, but "trippy" movies such 2001 A Space Odyssey will get you thinking about more worthwhile subjects (the meaning of life, our place in the universe, etc). If you stick to very real topics, like murder, your trip probably won't be very enjoyable. Unless you really want to dwell on death, it's best to avoid the topic.

I avoid television altogether. The commercials can't be controlled, so it becomes a non-stop assault on your trip. Stick to DVDs or movies without commercials if you want to watch something. But being outside with nature is a much more worthwhile experience.

"Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye."

- Bill Hicks

I agree, watching television is a horrible thing to do while on acid. But it was a real shitty day out. I should have waited for a nicer day.

I've been doing acid for a while now, but for the first time last night, I really felt what it was all about.

No coincidence that last night was the first oppurtunity to go as hard at it as I've always wanted to, but holy fuck... This world, and everything in it... Psychedelics are the most important thing we have. The most dangerous weapon in our arsenal. The one tool with the potential to change the world, if only applied in the right way. We spend billions of dollars exploring the farthest reaches of space when we know so little about the glowing universe that hides between our ears. When xenophobia and baseless, abstract religious fear, corrupted from its pure do-unto-others roots into some bizarre form of cryptopsychology, seems solely designed to alienate and standardise, to shape living flesh into cold marble until every thinking, breathing individual stands alone in a room full of people who look and think, exactly the same. To flatten out those peaks in humanity, the spikes on the mass spec, the individual points of reason, truth and logic. Those glorious moments of humanity.

There has to be some reason why that particular iteration of experiment was spilt on his hand. Maybe they all were and the 25th was the only active variation, I don't know. But... There is poetry hidden in that molecule. The way that the aromatic pi electrons are conjugated all the way up to the carboxyl group of the amide function... This keto-enol tautomerism is more then simple chance. This is, for me, the first evidence of something else. of something intelligent on a much grander scale then anything we have ever before comprehended, contemplated, or theorised. Our receptors are doors with many-faceted locks, where many different keys will open the door in many different ways. it will always swing on the same hinges, but depending on which pins are engaged by which key, an entirely different world will be waiting on the other side. LSD is a nightingale key. With spiderweb teeth, scant angstroms in length to twitch and tick across the warm wet surface of space and reality.

Open your third eye. Stare into the darkness, and wait for it to blink.

I like to listen to Wolfeyes when I trip

EDIT: I am the 100th post..... woooooo

And the 101st

I'd have to suggest the album Moon Safari by Air, or any of the classics - Hendrix, Zeppelin, Dylan, Jim Croce, Zevon, Cat Stevens. Gorillaz can be really intriguing, and if you're into something more beat-orientated side then hit up with some Shpongle, 1200 Mics, Plutonic Lab or Nujabes.

Gorillaz can be really intriguing

The Live in Manchester dvd (Demon Days) is pretty damn cool.


Shpongle

Also, Younger Brother. Simon Posford side project. Fucking cool stuff:

If you're interested in them, their two albums are called The Last Days of Gravity and A Flock of Beeps.

There aren't many seeders, so if you want to download tell me and I'll start seeding. Amazing stuff. Kinda like a chilled out version of Shpongle, aside from a few songs. Crumblenaut is face melting.

and Lemon Jelly is a must see, at least once. Very happy trip music.

They also have a VERY trippy dvd called "lemon jelly 64-95" to go along with their songs (The videos you see above, only high quality.)

http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/12020566/lemon+jelly?tab=summary

Unfortunately seeders are very hard to come by with that one. If you like the videos, though, I highly recommend buying the dvd off their site. Good stuff.

BT - This Binary Universe is also an excellent album that has an accompanying dvd. The double CD/DVD is only about $20 and definitely worth a purchase as well. The video is also 5.1 compatible, so if you have a nice sound system you're going to be blown away.

Thread is being cleaned up and uncluttered a bit. All of GD!'s posts (which were most of the clutter) have been moved to his own trip report thread. Thanks to vilbe for that :)

Awesome ridiculous. The strawberry kind (the only flavor of awesome ridiculous there is, of course).

Hey, just here to add my two cents about my favorite chemical. Most of what needs to be said has already been said but here's some more. I'll probably edit this and add more later.

Good things on acid:

Tangerines: All fruit is good but citrus is the best.

Thunder storms: Talk about a light show!

All things outdoors: Swimming and rock climbing are only good if you're on a medium or low dose.

Disney World/Land: It really is amazing while tripping.

Echochrome: Strange game while sober but absolutely mind-boggling while tripping. It's a game of 3D perspective puzzles where everything you see is real and everything you don't see is not. Here's a video of some levels from the game to give you a vague idea. ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf-ffIReSSU

Links:

http://www.miqel.com/entheogens/psychedelics_entheogens.html

^Lots of good info on LSD and other psychedelics. The articles "Why and Why Not to Trip" and "True and False Hallucinations" are especially informative and a highly suggested read.

http://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/essential_psychedelic_guide/essential_psychedelic_guide.shtml

^A classic book with lots of good information on psychedelics and the differences between them. Very good section on LSD.

Anyway that's all for now but I will definitely update this later.

citus fruits are god, fruit punch as far as tasty drink goes....


Thunder storms: Talk about a light show!


clear skys at night, one of the most amazing things i have ever seen... the only shooting star i ever saw was on an acid trip, that was a good night...


All things outdoors: Swimming and rock climbing are only good if you're on a medium or low dose.


kayaking on a lake on a nice warm and sunny day on acid was amazing....


Disney World/Land: It really is amazing while tripping.

never tripped in an amusement park...

darkus, that lemon jelly torrent has no seeds, no torrent sites do for it

Check every few hours. Just add the download to your client and leave it open and you'll eventually get it.

^ i hope you guys are talking about the movie, it's definitely one of the best things to watch when tripping

here's a cool link to this thing i found, im not sure what it is but if you can make it so its 3d with the red/blue glasses
http://dogfeathers.com/java/hyperstar.html

those magic firework glasses are pretty bitchin too. you know the ones that make everything all rainbowey.
and watching the visualizer for winamp (milkdrop) is awesome

but honestly the one thing i LOVE doing while tripping is playing with glowsticks while listening to psy-trance or the various simon posford projects.

but yeah, at all good this past year during widespread panic's set it started to rain and of course i was candy flipping (bassnectar had also played before them it was fucking tight) I just watched the water pour off the top of the stage onto the stage in front of the colored lights. it was so cool especially because it looked like it was splashing to the music.

man i love festivals, i wish i could go to one right now

All Good fucking rocks. You gotta go to Rothbury, too. I'll be at both with lots of candy ;)

did this thread shrink?

did this thread shrink?

Yep. vilbe cleaned out the posts made by that GD! guy (the one who was posting every 30 minutes during his trip.) He literally had 28 posts in this thread taking up most of 3 pages. Several of those posts he actually made a separate thread for as well, because I guess having his question answered in anything more than 5 minutes is unacceptable ;)

Also, a lot of his questions were answered in the original post so it's clear that he didn't read over it very well, if at all.

3rd page?

anyways not to just simply bump this thread....

dragged my ass out of bed this morning to drop early and watch the sun rise... should be good...

So who else can't stop listening to Radiohead when they're tripping?

subterranean homesick alien bro, check out the lyrics, way trippy

So, I think I'm planning on doing acid for the first time in a couple of weeks. Thing is, we'll be going to a party about mid-way through the trip. I've heard people say that the best location is somewhere natural and beautiful, and I'd like to have my first experience go as smoothly as possible.

What would you suggest I do for an inspirational first time?

I would try to avoid the party....

Parties really aren't the best places to trip....

Be able to go outside, have plenty of cigarettes..

Tons of suggestions in the thread, and http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?t=2139115 there too.

ITT Darkus once again proves his awesomeness.

god fucking damn it....

never let your non druggy cousins know your tripping....

so we were at my dads house while he was at work, big property in the woods... there was family down there but we avoided them for the most part...except for my cousin who my sister thought wouldn't fucking narc on us... she was with us while we were tripping.This was on Wednesday, flash forward to today as were are about to leave. My aunt and uncle call me over and start accusing me of being on drugs and a whole bunch of shit. Then my sister drives up and she gets the same thing, then my dad gets in on the conversation... and now about half my family is going to know i drop acid... so eventually the yelling stops and we start driving home... we call up the fucking rat of a cousin and she says something along the lines of "you two are way in over your heads, you do this kind of stuff like you think it doesn't do anything bad..." but she didn't tell my aunt and uncle, she told her sister who ratted us out to them... the whole thing is a clusterfuck... i thanked her for fucking up our relationship with half our family and hung up the phone...

oh well, I was going to eventually talk to my dad about my psych usage but i hoped that would be later under different circumstances, but looks like i will be doing it sooner than expected...

moral of the story, dont even trust your family...

Acid intervention. Yayyyy.

How old are the parties involved?

me 18, my sister 16, cousin 16... aunt, uncle, dad 50-60

i would laugh my ass off if they had a legitimate intervention over acid....

im going to see the bitch again at Christmas... im probably not going to say much to her other than "one day i might not hate you, but until then shut the fuck up and don't speak to me, and even if i stop hating you do not ever expect me to trust you with anything."

I'm disappointed in myself. I was already rolling fucking balls on like, three bikkies, and foolishly decided to drop a couple of tabs about thrree hours in.

Waste of time, and money. No visuals, jsut massive mindfuck and horrible scattered comedown.

drop before you roll next time...

drop before you roll next time...

generally I'd throw down a half dozen tabs and then wait 2-3 hours before getting stuck into the beans, but last night the tabs arrived some time after I'd already dropped pills and I was just starting to come into a massive rush and was just thinking "Goooooo harrrrrderrrrrrrr!" - An embarassingly juvenile behaviour.

Light, sound, gravity. Shiny.

Hey does it get boring staying in one place (outside), alone for the whole trip? Im thinking of dosing in this place with a view of the whole city :)

Wandering around listening to music and smoking cigarettes is what i tend to do while tripping...

If you get bored on LSD, you're a boring person ;)

edit: or you got shitty LSD. Or both.

That view should be pretty damn cool. Something I personally have never seen, although I have driven through a city tripping. Where are you going exactly? Big hill or something? As long as it's not somewhere with high amounts of traffic (people or cars :p) you'll be just fine.

The LSD thread should never be on page 4

TOPIC FOR LSD THREAD:

How has LSD changed your life? What has is made you appreciate?


I salvaged relationships with myself, my parents and my friends. I now call my Dad everyday and try to be a kind, warm-hearted person. I used to be nihilistic because I was incapable of feeling emotion, LSD broke down my psychological repression and now everyday is infinitely more meaningful to me.

I have never been more appreciative of the things I have in life...Things that matter, friends, family, talents, knowledge, and experiences...I love LSD :)

How has LSD changed your life? What has is made you appreciate?


I'm happy with myself and my life....

I used to be sick of life, hating every single day... friends meant nothing, family meant little, school sucked, life was the same shit different day routine....

Then i dropped acid, had one of the most amazing and powerful experiences of my life and walked out of it just happy to be alive..... Ever experienced something that could bring tears to your eyes at the thought of it? That was my first trip....

After LSD (my first psych) I found that I had a profound connection with my own emotions, I knew where they came from, and what I needed to do to decrease any suffering (my tripping always has strange Buddhist themes). I have an obsession with fractals and the concept of infinity in nature. I understand how cold logic and abstract thought fit seamlessly together. I can't even begin to describe how important that day was to me. I wouldn't trade it for a thing.

Fuckin' hippies.

Fuck your patchouli motherfucker.

I have a question aimed at all of you guys.

Obviously all people are different but I was wondering what you think is a good age to begin experimenting with LSD or other psychs (mainly mushrooms). I am 17 right now and would consider myself reasonably responsible and 'mature' for my age or at least compared to the people around me my age.

I want to do either mushrooms or acid when i get the chance due to curiosity and self-exploration mainly. I was wondering if you think it would be appropriate for me to get two or three of my close friends who would be up for it and trip with them. I know that someone will say that I probably should not trip because I am doubting it but I see this question more as me just trying to gather in as much information so that I can have a successful trip.

I also don't know which substance to trip on first, mushrooms or LSD. I always hear from everyone I've talked to who has done LSD that they don't imagine it being possible to have a bad trip and that it was a great experience. With mushrooms, I feel like there are more mixed results and I also hear many people say that mushrooms fuck with your emotions pretty badly. I am really interested in both substances though and will want to do each of them at least once in the future, but what would you guys recommend?

LSD would be great. It was my first psych. And make sure your friends mindsets are as good as yours. Your intentions are in good standing.

my first acid trip was at 16, that was a completly different time in my life, and after you will probably look back and consider it the same way.... A year earlier and i dont believe i would have been able to handle it, depressed and unstable would be how i would describe the first half of my teenage years.... Its a decision you have to make for yourself, know that in all likelihood your probably going to see yourself and the world in a new way, for me that was nothing but a positive change... I came out of it a happier person, and do not regret it at all.

I would suggest tripping with just 1 friend, with maybe another friend you can call to drive you around should the need or desire come up.

In a good setting and mindset when your tripping its hard to imagine things being bad... But i have had moments where the bliss was suddenly replaced with fear, granted most of these were tripping at my house by myself or with a friend with family in the house.... not a great setting. Its also not a great thing to hear when your walking around at 2am and your friend says "dude, there's a cop behind us"....

My first psych was LSD, and i highly recommend it... Mushrooms have a shorter duration, but as far as psychs go duration is kind of a pointless thing to pick your drugs by as most dilate your sense of time... minutes can seem like hours on acid or mushrooms. Your 2 hours into a trip and it feels like the sun should be setting despite having woken up before dawn.... I imagine some massive doses of acid or mushrooms, or a breakthrough dose of DMT could make a few minutes seem like an eternity. The passage of time is all based on perception, and it does not always fly by when your having fun, sometimes it slows to a crawl....

I suggest acid because you don't have to worry about the indigestion and other potential discomfort, and many people seem to have more bad trips on mushrooms. But it all really comes down to personal preference, acid is my favorite drug but i know people who tried it once or twice and had a good time and never touched it again, and others who hate it and love shrooms.

Incredibly psychedelic screensaver. Even if you don't use screensavers, this is definitely worth the download simply for the visualizations. Perfect eye candy for a trip.

The climax of the show #10 -> #16 is excellent. Morning Dew is also one of their best live versions. To some this may not sound like your typical "psychedelic" music, but believe me, it is. Give it a shot on acid and you'll definitely think otherwise. Crank the bass up a bit too :) Phil Lesh can't go unheard.

Computer visualizers on psychedelics are lame.

By saying that, I'm guessing you didn't even check it out :p

I don't sit and stare at it on my computer, but for whatever reason when I need to bring the trip to my room, I'm more often than not going to have some ambient visuals up.

I'd suggest doing it with someone who has done it before and only do it with a couple people.




My first trip
-----------

First time I did it was with 4 other people. We smoked some weed first, so for the first hour or two we just thought we were really high (no visuals had kicked in yet). So people were bitching that it was fake, creating a lot of negative emotions. Made me feel very guilty because I was the one who collected money from people and went to go get it.

I had 10 tabs total. 2 for this other guy who was joining us later. 4 for my four friends (one each), and 4 for me (so I could do it again another day, its hard to find). I got the 10 tabs for $80. Sold them to my friends at $10 a tab (that's what the dealer was charging for just one).
three of the four guys paid me right away. So at this point I have 6 tabs and I spent $40 for them. The five of us each take one. Doesn't really do anything. Everyone is complaining that's its fake.

Normally I wouldn't feel guilty at all, fuck them, but acid really fucks with your emotions. They were asking if they could drop a second tab so I eventually gave in and gave out the rest of the tabs. Now we had each dropped two. The other guy finally joins us and he is pissed off that I gave out the rest of the tabs and didn't save any for him. Its not like I wanted to give out all the stuff for free but I felt so guilty that I was ripping people off $10 for fake acid. This was by far the guiltiest I have felt in decades and now I have this other guy who just showed and two of the tabs I gave out should have been his. So now I'm really upset about the whole thing, I feel like shit. I tell the guy the stuff was fake anyways (we still thought it was) and I go back to my dorm. After laying on my bed for about 30min watching TV I noticed the draws on my dresser started to move in and out. At this point I'm thinking, "sweet, the stuff is real." Of course everyone else started to trip at the same time and a few min after that I have the guy I left out calling me and texting me asking if I have any more. Completely kills the mood and I spend the next hour in fear hoping that he doesn't come by. He comes by and I give him $20 so he can go buy himself 2 tabs. I then spend the next few hours locked in my room myself because I don't want to deal with anyone.

I got for a short walk towards the end of the trip and that was pretty fun until I saw the poilce parked across the street and got kinda paranoid.

TL;DR
Paid $60 for 2 tabs and spent 12 hours feeling extreme guilt and fear. My friends on the other hand had a wonderful and care-free trip. It was a good experience though and I'm kinda glad I got psycho-emotionally raped. Gave me a new perspective of life for the next few days. Definitely didn't turn me away from acid. Just next time I'm only going to do it with 2 people who have done it before, not 6 that had no idea what was going on. I'll do it when its warm out, not cold and raining. I'll probably have someone else buy the tabs so I don't have to feel any responsibility.

I don't sit and stare at it on my computer, but for whatever reason when I need to bring the trip to my room, I'm more often than not going to have some ambient visuals up.

No, I did. And it is still badass. I just find the eyeball masturbation of staring at visualizers superficial and pointless when tripping. Just throw on some tunes and close your eyes. :)

kayaking on acid, fucking amazing... i did it a couple months ago, the sky was blue and purple, the way the sun hit the ripples in the water combined with them all forming crazy electric patterns.... fucking beautiful. and add to that the general energy of an acid trip, its easy to paddle for a long fucking way and not feel the least bit tired....

I was out on the lake with a sober friend of mine, hes probably the only person i would have as a sitter if i ever needed one, he isn't the type to be like "you tripping yet?" and all of that other bullshit... We had probably gone about a kilometer, and he was tired as fuck, i could have gone for hours, and hes probably in better shape than me....

The white album.... it was fucking nuts even when i was coming down...

Revolution #9 has gotta be one of the weirdest fucking songs ever recorded.

I LOVE ACID!! I just can't say it enough.

and I miss it so much :(

btw darkus, thanks for the links; that electric sheep screensaver is epic. i can only imagine it when nicely dosed...

would it be ok for a first-timer to take acid on his own, without a sitter?

And is it still enjoyable when its cold out? (like currently)

Yes. Sitters are nonsense. The only time I would suggest having a "sitter" would be if the other person is rather experienced with LSD and they trip with you. Having a sober person around can suck when you're tripping. A lot.

How cold are we talking? If you're going to be forced to be in the cold, it's not going to be great. You're obviously going to want comfort. Being comfortable when you're tripping is pretty important.

Now, if it's not very cold out and maybe you can wrap yourself up nice and warm and sit by a fire or something, you should be okay. If I were you, though, I'd wait until a time when I can comfortably transition between indoors and out without having to worry.

I LOVE ACID!! I just can't say it enough.

Me too ;)

and I miss it so much :(

:( Hard to find where you are, I imagine? What's your general location?

btw darkus, thanks for the links; that electric sheep screensaver is epic. i can only imagine it when nicely dosed...

My pleasure :) And yeah, I fucking love electric sheep. I don't think I'll ever use another screensaver again. I've yet to check it out when frying, but I can only imagine how intense it would be.

It's a nice hot summer here, I went to the beach on a couple of the cleanest tabs I've ever had. Fucking brilliant, just letting the waves buffet you about and toss you on your ass while electric fringes of purple and green boil in the ocean.

Well, its hard to tell how cold it will be, since it just went from 0 degrees Fahrenheit to about 55 in one day, but I'm guessing it will go back down pretty soon....couldn't really comfortably move from inside to out though.

If i do it alone in a big park (in the city- lincoln park in chicago, lets say) lol....i should be ok?

You don't have to explain everything, I've read a lot about it, been all over erowoid, etc. Just the fact that my friend said i shouldn't do it without a sitter kind of....dissapointed me.

I guess my main concern is like.....well, mainly- what's the chance I'll do something dangerously out of the ordinary, like walking in the street, or trying to swim in a frozen pond? I've just heard about incidents where people jump off roofs because they think they can fly and stuff.

Don't bother with a sitter. But its definitely better with a friend. Interacting with sober people sucks when you're high, that applies to any drug.

So find a friend or two (my first time was with like 6 of us) and just spend the day together doing something fun.

so should i worry about doing something stupid and killing myself unintentionally?

I just want to gauge how safe I'll be alone in park surrounded by busy streets and large bodies of water. I'll most likely have my bike too....might try and ride it during my trip......

would anyone recommend doing something a little less intense like shrooms before trying acid? ...just as a way to introduce yourself more gently to psychedelics......

so should i worry about doing something stupid and killing myself unintentionally?

No. Unless you're doing an inhuman amount you'll be fine and in control.

I just want to gauge how safe I'll be alone in park surrounded by busy streets and large bodies of water.

Is it a big park? Big enough that you can find seclusion? You don't have to worry about taking an impulsive swim or playing in the streets, but if there's not going to be a way to avoid people I would say save it.

I'll most likely have my bike too....might try and ride it during my trip

Thumbs up

would anyone recommend doing something a little less intense like shrooms before trying acid?

No psychedelic is less intense than another. It's all according to dose. Shrooms can be incredibly intense, as can acid, but I've always found acid to be more comfortable. If I could have done things differently, I would have done acid first.

just as a way to introduce yourself more gently to psychedelics......

There is no way to fully prepare yourself for a psychedelic. There are plenty of ways to assure you have as good a time as possible, but you'll always be smacked in the face with what a psychedelic truly is like.

so should i worry about doing something stupid and killing myself unintentionally?

not really, your not going to be like "hey i should go play in the street, getting hit with a car would be awesome" all of those people who thought they could fly so they jumped out of a window were probably made up, well most of them anyways... if your a fairly sane individual you will be fine...

pretty safe, i hear swimming is pretty fun on acid but its a bit too cold for that this time of year... and just look both ways before crossing the street.... but do try to go for a bike ride...

shrooms are more likely to psychoemotionally rape you than acid...

Acid can be intense but at the same time it is a wonderful substance.... Just go with it, don't worry about being overwhelmed and try to fight it, just let go of all your worries and things will be fun...

Do it with a good mindset, the park seems like a pretty good setting...

psychoemotionally rape

i love that term

Have you only tried cannabis?

You could always try doing a lose dose (~300mg) of DXM. It gives a nice weed-like high but a bit more intense.

Have you only tried cannabis?


yeah, only cannabis so far. Just got some shrooms and some blotters though. and I THINK....tomorrow could be the day.....45 degrees, the second day of sunshine this whole winter......should be nice

damnit i really need to find a source for acid

and while on acid: playing amplified guitar vs. wandering outside with music? wandering around with an amplified electric guitar would be sweet but amplifiers are heavy and i wouldnt wanna leave anything anywhere

Why can't you do both? You've got at least 8 hours of good trip time to burn. Should definitely be able to do both.

If I recall correctly, they make these portable backpack amplifier things that run on batteries. I'll see if I can find them.

Darkus, you rule.

i have no problem finding a portable amp, dont worry about it

would i be able to keep track of things pretty well or would just leaving stuff somewhere be a problem?

LSD is amazing.
What happened isn't.

You'll be a little absent minded.

I remember trying to set up my hookah in a parking lot. I set up the whole thing, packed a bowl, lit a coal, everything. I went to smoke it and realized I had left the hoses in my dorm. It was also VERY difficult to concentrate on setting it up.

I was also nervous because people were kinda staring at me as I was sitting on the ground in a parking lot staring at a hookah and no hoses.

I wouldn't worry about losing anything though.

I love that

"uh dude what were we trying to do?"
i dont remember

Just tripping out and paying attention to sooo many other things than the task at hand.

Please explain...

LOS ANGELES — It looks like the old Dead are gettin' on.

Surviving members of the Grateful Dead say they'll regroup for a 19-city tour, their first since 2004, beginning April 12 in Greensboro, N.C.

The group, which now just calls itself The Dead, announced its plans Thursday.

For the festival junkies out there, this is going to be one crazy summer. I pretty much knew this was coming after the Obama benefit show, but getting a definite answer sure is nice.

With The Dead and Phish both reuniting this summer, acid will flow like the river Nile. I know I'll be on the road, and wondering if any deadheads in here have any plans of their own. I'll be all over the east coast so it'd be kinda cool to hook up with someone here.

Anyway, I'm super excited, and maybe some of you out there can share the feeling. Then, I also know some of you could care less.

What does this have to do with acid? Deadheads = lots of acid. Dead tour = even more acid. More acid = readily available, all over the country.

inb4 the Grateful Dead suck.

The last time I was LSD I was backstage at wakarusa watching buckethead fallowed by the flaming lips...

i was hearing about people getting arrested there....

I was wondering if drug dogs are trained by police to smell lsd, and also if they are, how likely would it be that these dogs would be around my local airport.

LSD is odorless champ.

LSD is probably the easiest drug to smuggle.

nice...

i was hearing about people getting arrested there....

yeah, i never went but the people camped next to me at all good one year had gone and they said they got their shit jacked by the dea. it was so bad that the promoters moved it to arkansas for 09. i dont know if that will be any better though.

it was one of the few fest i was hearing about cops and shit there... if i can go all summer without having any inconvenient run ins with the DEA or various other law enforcement agencies i will be a happy person...

Finally took the time to compile my collection of trippy eyecandy. Everything from fractals, animated gifs, wallpapers, and miscellaneous pictures. I hope you all enjoy, but I don't think that will be a problem. They're all organized into separate albums on the left. Have fun :)

http://s541.photobucket.com/albums/gg381/thirdeyewide/

If you guys have any pictures, by all means upload them to imageshack or something and post them here so I can add them to the album.

Cool stuff

I always like staring at magic eye things
http://www.magiceye.com/gallery/images/112708s.jpg

and stereo images are also very cool
http://www.anri.barc.usda.gov/emusnow/stereo/images/10164_65.jpg

Stare cross eyed at the two images until a third image appears between the two and then focus on the center image. I can get it in about 3 seconds, but the first time I tried (~5years ago) it took me like 45min to get it.
You can also find some stereo porn online http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7848/priscilasol3dbyxavierlabu0.jpg

http://s541.photobucket.com/albums/gg381/thirdeyewide/

Added more stuff to the album.

As far as stereo images go, here's one that will blow your mind.

Fuckin' cool shit.

Edit: updated my album

http://s541.photobucket.com/albums/gg381/thirdeyewide/

Added a couple Larry Carlson albums and Alex Grey's 'Progress of the Soul', including some other random images. Again, sub albums are on the left, and be sure to check out the animated gifs.

If anyone has some cool stuff, post it here and I'll add it. Make sure it's not already in any albums first, though. Got a lot of stuff on there so far.

Bump. Read original post.
